Attributed to Girolamo da Cremona, Augustine’s Vision of the City of God

Girolamo da Cremona was an Italian painter and architect who lived during the Renaissance. He was born in Cremona, Italy in 1451 and died in Rome in 1483. Girolamo is best known for his frescoes and altarpieces, which were strongly influenced by the works of Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini. He also worked as an architect, designing buildings and structures in Cremona and Rome. One of his most famous works is the cycle of frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St John the Baptist in the church of San Giovanni Battista in Cremona. The frescoes are notable for their use of perspective and foreshortening, innovative techniques at the time. Girolamo's career was cut short when he died at the age of 32. However, his works continue to be admired and studied by art historians and enthusiasts alike.
